THE WORD BECAME FLESH concert with Dan Goeller

 

 

 
 Our Prayer:
        Grant that what we sing with our lips, we may believe in our hearts, 
        and what we believe in our hearts, we may show forth in our lives,
        through Jesus Christ, our Lord.  Amen.

Children's Music
Participation in worship and music education are the principal objectives for our younger singers. 
All Childrens' choir rehearsals are on Wednesday nights from 6:00pm - 7:00pm.  Children's Handbells

The music program presents numerous sacred
and secular concerts during the year, in addition
to community events such as band concerts,
organ recitals, and seasonal celebrations.

    Handbells

English handbells are one of the hottest programs in Bartlett and in church music nationwide. We offer many handbell ensembles utilizing the talents of 4th graders through adults. The music program brings technical brilliance and joy to worship and is a blessing to all who serve Christ.  

     
Sanctuary Organ
Our church is blessed to have the grand Kimball
organ that once played in Memphis' historic
Ellis auditorium.  Through generous donations,
the organ was rescued and restored for future generations.
